oh now !! :( A crics bit my mantis's arm before but not so it bled :shock: . it just nibbled it and the mantis moved its arm and clung on to the top of its head instead ! maybe you keep some rabid breed of cricket ?

if you want to you can snip of her leg just after it bends . however this will mean she has only one back leg to moult from . which is more dangerous that having 1.5 legs ( 1.5 legs because it aint as usefull as a back leg although its better than nothing being there if you understand what im...
